Woodland fragmentation affects space use of Eurasian red squirrels Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek Universiteit Antwerpen
Effect of tree species choice and mineral capping in a woodland phytostabilisation system: A case-study for calcareous dredged sediment landfills with an oxidised topsoil Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek KU Leuven
Foliar, wood and bark metal concentrations were evaluated 2 and 12 years after afforestation of 3 metal-polluted calcareous upland dredged sediment landfills with an oxidised topsoil. Two techniques for reducing the metal entry into the food web were compared in a field situation: choice of appropriate tree species aiming at reduced metal transfer to the environment, and application of a thin uncontaminated mineral capping layer on top of the ...
Anthracological analysis from Kovacevo, southwest Bulgaria: woodland vegetation and its use during the earliest stages of the European Neolithic KU Leuven
Wood charcoal analysis from Kovacevo in southwest Bulgaria, one of the earliest Neolithic sites in southeastern Europe, provided information about the first stages of anthropogenic impact on vegetation during the Early Neolithic (6159–5630 cal b.c.). Deciduous oak was the most abundant and frequently used taxon in the wood charcoal assemblages. Cornus charcoal was also abundant, probably connected with the use of its twigs as building material ...
Mixed flock composition and foraging behavior of insectivorous birds in industurbed and disturbed fragments of high-Andean **Polylepis** woodland Universiteit Antwerpen
Mixed-species foraging flocks of birds are found in many forest communities, both in temperate and tropical forests. Such flocks are typically highly structured in terms of foraging behavior, with different species occupying different foraging niches with respect to foraging positions and/or techniques. In the Neotropics, most Studies have focused on species-rich flocks in lowland tropical forest, but little has been published on less diverse ...
How important are large vs. small forest remnants for the conservation of the woodland flora in an urban context? Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
Aim To test whether, in an urban area, small forest fragments are more important than large ones, the present study aimed at firstly exploring the relationship between plant functional groups or individual species and urban woodlot characteristics such as patch area and isolation, and secondly investigating whether equal-sized combinations of islands tend to differ in species richness. Location The city of Brussels. Methods We considered the ...
Unravelling the defense mechanisms of woodland strawberry fruit and leaves against Botrytis cinerea KU Leuven
Strawberry is one of the world's most popular fruit crops. Grey mold disease, caused by Botrytis cinerea, leads to substantial economic losses in strawberry production worldwide. Currently B. cinerea fruit rot is controlled via fungicides. However, the adverse effects of fungicide use on human health and environment and the development of fungicide-resistant B. cinerea strains urge the development of alternative methods to limit Botrytis fruit ...
Gleditsia triacanthos L. (honeylocust, Leguminosae): first record as an invader of riparian woodland in Southern Spain Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
Gleditsia triacanthos (Leguminosae) is a deciduous tree native to the Eastern USA.
The first invasive record of G. triacanthos in the Iberian Peninsula is here reported.
The invaded area (Guadiamar river, southern Spain) is under a Csa climate type,
which is an infrequent and unexpected type for that species to behave as invasive.
The analysis of trunk perimeters and of the spatial distribution showed a net
